Best PC Strategy Game

Creative Assembly has been producing Total War games for nearly a decade, and Shogun 2 happens to be one of the best. Combining turn-based campaign map management with sprawling real-time battles between thousands of troops, there’s something here for every kind of strategy fan. Not only does Shogun 2 deliver the best visuals of the series, lots of strategic and tactical depth, and tons of options to customize your faction leaders through skill trees to gradually win over 16th Century Japan, but includes an immense multiplayer component. If you don’t care about heading online to fight or setting up a cooperative campaign, you can still replay the main game plenty of times over. Shogun 2 is one of the biggest, most feature-complete strategy games ever made, and a must-own title for anyone that plays games on Windows.
